We spoke to him through an interpreter in Yemen.

And Abdullah told me it was his neighbor who was the groom to be married that day.

Abdullah said they got there a little before noon, ate lunch, recited wedding poems.

After lunch... They grabbed the bride.

And just a few of her bridal attendants, a few females.

And they start driving back to the groom's village for the actual wedding ceremony.

Now, Abdullah said that ever since they'd left that morning, through lunch, all day long, they heard this...

This sort of metallic whirring, this metallic thumping overhead.

No one in the convoy could see it, but they knew what it was.

It's nothing new for people in rural parts of Yemen by this point.

They don't think anything of it.

It's common to hear those sounds.

Basically, if you can imagine it, they're sort of winding through these wadis, these desert, mountainous places.

They're all strung out on this rutted out little dirt track.

Finally, they reach this little clearing.

up near the top of this cliff, where they all slowed down and started to bunch together.

Because apparently, one of the cars had gotten a flat.

Some guys got out, fixed it, got back in their cars.
